Am I unreasonable?

I feel I need to get this off my chest so thought I'd ask for opinions along the way...

DH works full, I am sort of a SAHM to two (7 years old DD and 18m old DS). In the term time I teach Sing and Sign and it takes up an awful lot of time plus in holidays I'm doing all paperwork for next term!

I do all the housework, child care etc. DH generally remembers to put the rubbish out, he did choose to do the washing as his job but I have just put 8 loads away after waiting 5 days with it piled up in the lounge.

Here is my dilemma, because he works full time out of the home should I just be doing all this housework etc? I feel like a slave and then I feel guilty for feeling like this. His Mum used to do everything for him (and still does for his dad - we live next door to them).

I feel like I'm sinking, DH moans I never seem happy - too bloody knackered to feel happy.

We've been married for 10 years, been together for 14 years. Just cannot imagine being like this for ever....

my husband works fulltime and i work part time 2 days a week ,i do all the housework. I dont honestly mind doing it ,plus he doesnt care if i havent hoovered (dim lighting thats the key ) however it really really annoys me on a weekend when he does diddly squat and puts dirty plates in the sink after passing the dishwasher !!!!
at the end of the day if you are not happy then you need a hand ,can he not pay for a cleaner for an hour or so a week ? or pitch in on a weekend and he could do the hoovering while you clean
